Devastated, although it is nothing

Sorry you're going through this. Do try to take a rest... have a bath, pamper yourself a little, and sleeeep! It'll get easier.

I know it is so hard to do that first overnight! I hope you can get some rest, mama.

Try to get some good sleep tonight, mama! The bath idea sounds really nice, too...pampering yourself always helps. It will get easier

Oh, it's so hard. s to you. I hope you got some rest last night and you're feeling better today.

I felt the EXACT same way when my kids had their first overnight; like a piece of my heart had been ripped out. I can say it gets better though. You find ways to cope with it.

s to you mama.

Hello

It was very hard, I didnt get much sleep as I woke up several times swearing I heard him calling me.

He is with his dad all day on Sundays and I have already been used to that one, so I didn't think I would have such a bad time. you are all right that I should have planned to do something special. Or at least something different.

My lo did great, he was extra happy to see me (or so I think) he made a lot of high tone noises when we met at noon on Saturday but he was just fine and spent a very regular night (it was soupoused to be earlier but I took my car for oil change and it turned out I had no brakes so i had to get that done)

When we FINALLY met I couldn't stop showering him with kisses and hugs.
I missed him so much. I know it is useless thought but it really bothers me that his time with Daddy will just be more and more, especially as he grows up.

I am in Florida and Judges try to get 50%-50% that is 3 1/2 days with mom and 3 1/2 days with dad...
I have not filled for divorce yet so we are playing by ear on all aspects.

Sorry I didn't respond sooner, I was just not ready, but I wanted to say it was great to see your responses.

Ceinwen, definitively make plans to make it easier.
I think I am going for a margarita with a friend. i thought about going for a movie but then I will be concerned I miss a phone call.

I just don't know where 24 friking years of marriage go.
I feel this is not fair~!

I know I should be grateful for so many blessings on my life but I think I am grieving on a lost marriage and this having to give more of my son's time has reopened some old scars.

I feel very depressed. My son is taking a nap and it is not his nap time, but i needed some me time so I let him continue sleeping.

I don't want this, and what the future holds as best is having to deal with a new relationship while dealing with an X and his new relationship, which has not happened yet. We are both single for now.

I am clearly looking at life with a very dark lense.
Writing helps, I will get me some tea too.

I was doing so good, for weeks! This just sucks.

ok, I am done, I need to ensure I keep some wine and chocolates on this house... :

lilyka - same here. I know that right now I have my good days and bad days... but I know that the first time I hear my six year old say something about daddy's friend 'Jane' I'm going to lose my mind... Jane being the woman exdp felt comfortable moving on with while we were still clearly married and I was doing everything in my power to save the marriage.

So glad I have therapy this afternoon.
